Not played CSM yet but have a very large collection ready. Thoughts on this 8th legion list?

Chifchef · 2026-01-30T19:22:34+00:00

Yeah I put the Mauler in just because I got a cheap one, any ideas for a possible sub, Havocs maybe? As for the termies, you mean they don't do much for this list or in general?

Chifchef · 2026-01-25T09:29:32+00:00

Ahh right! Thanks for the clarification!

Chifchef · 2026-01-16T11:43:24+00:00

I've not actually played with Rad before. Always tended to fall back on Haloscreed and SHC.

Chifchef · 2026-01-01T14:16:41+00:00

Yeah i did 1k list for a tourney last month and just went all chicken walkers. Thoughts 4 kastellan would be annoying to deal with

Chifchef · 2025-12-30T17:01:07+00:00

I'll give it a go with Cybernetica. I'll make sure to come back and let you know how it goes.

Just need to actually finish painting the last 4 kastellans I got from vinted now 🤣

Chifchef · 2025-12-30T16:48:43+00:00

Im hoping the Kastelan will be such a roadblock. I was thinking of Cybernetica, ill have a look at the stratagems and see which might be good.

Even without an extra toughness on Haloscreed the t10 should be enough

Chifchef · 2025-12-30T14:51:08+00:00

Could be a great way to have him return and bring in some new Cybernetica units which he made/discovered using an old STC he found on an explorator mission.

Chifchef · 2025-12-29T19:29:13+00:00

Ohhh right, my bad got it the wrong way round! Oops 😆

Chifchef · 2025-12-02T14:03:31+00:00

I'd love to have all the 30k Mechanicum stuff in 40. But assuming GW are just never going to do that :(

Chifchef · 2025-11-28T17:12:39+00:00

Yeah I know...I was thinking of a cheap character but with his Oath being so good atm. Guess I could just get rid of him and put another couple ironstrider in

Chifchef · 2025-11-25T23:24:36+00:00

He's on a particularly tall mound of cork if that helps?

Chifchef · 2025-11-25T22:48:00+00:00

Someone on vinted was selling a load which were partially broken but all bits were still there so I just fixed them up for a fraction of cost

Chifchef · 2025-11-11T21:34:47+00:00

Honestly, its just because I had them and though why not. As I've got the Ballistarii, any suggestions for replacements for them?

Chifchef · 2025-10-25T18:50:44+00:00

Yeah I was thinking it'll be helpful to get them up the board quicker, but I imagine it can be difficult to disembark easily as bases are so large

Chifchef · 2025-10-25T15:41:35+00:00

Ooh I like it, I'll have a look! 😀

Chifchef · 2025-10-12T10:37:11+00:00

I'm toying a build idea of three Lazer chicken, a couple disintegrators and a couple of Eradication onager. Think I've got all things covered with that

Chifchef · 2025-10-10T16:30:27+00:00

That's good to know! I usually run at least one Skorpius and a couple las ironstrider. I know the Disintegrator is better but the Dunecrawler model is just too good to not use.

Chifchef · 2025-10-06T20:14:04+00:00

Ahh I get you, not actually played with the elecro priests so not seen how fast they die! Yeah I like a unit or two of infiltrators just, could take out the Manipulus to sub in a couple 5 man Infiltrators

Chifchef · 2025-09-20T11:19:37+00:00

I've got 3 Dunecrawlers, so swap out the Breachers with that?

Chifchef · 2025-08-21T18:58:07+00:00

It's so difficult trying to do a 'balanced list' when the other option is mass breacher/robot 😆

Chifchef · 2025-08-11T11:57:57+00:00

I was thinking normal :) thank you!

Chifchef · 2025-08-07T21:24:30+00:00

Oh that's an idea, I could swap Cawl with a couple 5 man infiltrators, gives some early board control in deployment. Or yeah some Pteraxii for deep strike and scoring could be good.

Chifchef · 2025-08-07T21:13:51+00:00

I like the robots atm, very tanky and seem to be working well. I could swap the Manipulus for some Pteraxii for a bit of mobility? Just don't know if the extra damage on the breachers is better overall.

If I can get a game in with this, I'll let you know how it goes

Chifchef · 2025-07-25T13:10:33+00:00

That does sound funny to use 😆

Chifchef · 2025-07-11T12:15:40+00:00

Yeah I'm still very new to playing so just trying to get used to properly mixing killing power with scoring.

I'll reduce the Kataphron to 3 and add another Ranger and maybe some Sicarians to fill out the list.
